Chapter 55: Little Princess
Thinking of this, Old Xie’s mood immediately became good again, and he continued on his way leisurely. Not long after, passing through the campus of the Etiquette Branch, Old Xie came to the place where he studied, the Magic Branch. Although the number of people here was the smallest, even less than one-tenth of the Academy, the area it occupied was not much less than the other two branches. The entire Academy’s buildings were very orderly. Generally speaking, they were a hexagonal building complex.
The six corners were the Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Light, and Dark Element Spell branches. Each branch had its own Mage Tower and attached building complex. In the middle was a large area of buildings for the library, Alchemy, and miscellaneous subjects. In short, the Magic Academy had many buildings, and each had complete functions. In terms of cost and expense, the money spent on these Magic Apprentices alone was probably more than that on tens of thousands of students in the other two branches. This showed the importance the Kingdom attached to Mages. This was probably also the reason why Warriors had complaints against Mages. No way, they were just too jealous of the Mages’ treatment.
Old Xie’s first class was Basic Alchemy Theory, held in an Alchemy teaching building in the middle. Although it was Old Xie’s first time here, the road signs were abundant. As long as one wasn’t an idiot, one could easily find the place to go. Naturally, Old Xie wouldn’t get lost either. He quickly arrived at the teaching building and easily found the classroom on the 3rd floor according to the sign inside.
At this time, there were already about ten students in the classroom. They were all fifteen or sixteen years old, boys and girls, wearing various colored Magic Robes. From their clothes, one could easily identify the class they belonged to. Children from poor families wore Magic Robes provided by the school for free. They weren’t too bad, but not good either. Rich nobles, like Old Xie, wore custom-made top-quality Magic Robes, not only comfortable but also adding defense, and having certain magic effects. For example, the Magic Robe on Old Xie had the attribute of increasing mana recovery speed. It was worth at least 200 Gold Coins outside. Children from poor families could never afford it.
And the Mages inside were also divided into two inconspicuous factions based on wealth. The rich sat in the front; the higher the status, the further forward. But the seats in the very front row were still empty, obviously left for some big shot. The back was filled with commoner disciples. However, in terms of number, commoner disciples were still more, occupying about two-thirds of the share.
In his previous life, Old Xie was born poor, so he looked down on class distinctions the most. Seeing this situation, he was too lazy to associate with those noble children and sat directly in the last position. In his view, that was a treasured spot, at least he could sleep quietly in class.
But Old Xie didn’t expect that his action would cause quite a stir. The originally quiet classroom suddenly became lively. The nobles were greatly dissatisfied with Old Xie’s behavior, mocking him for losing the nobles’ face. Although the commoner disciples didn’t dare to mock Old Xie, they kept discussing whether Old Xie had taken the wrong medicine.
Although they were whispering, with Old Xie’s ears, he heard everything clearly, making him quite depressed. He wanted to teach them a lesson, but he didn’t know which guy to start with. Just as Old Xie’s patience gradually disappeared and he planned to beat them all up, the classroom suddenly quieted down.
Old Xie was stunned at first, then found that, unknown when, a young lady wearing a dark blue Magic Robe appeared at the classroom door. She looked about thirteen or fourteen, and the childishness on her face hadn’t faded yet, but she already exuded a stunning charm. Her exquisite facial features were as delicate as Dingyao porcelain, her deep blue eyes were like the deepest sapphires, and her shoulder-length golden hair was as smooth as a waterfall. The temperament on her face faintly revealed a sense of spirituality and majesty. In short, this girl was definitely one of the most beautiful girls Old Xie had seen on this Continent. Her beauty was not inferior to Constantine at all. I’m afraid when she grew up completely, she would even surpass her.
Obviously, this little girl had a very high status, because after she entered, everyone stood up and saluted her. She was extremely arrogant, just nodding slightly. Although her performance was arrogant, combined with the childishness on her face, it couldn’t make people angry at all. Instead, it gave a very cute feeling, as if a naughty child was playing an arrogant princess game. Old Xie couldn’t help but laugh.
In such a solemn scene, Old Xie’s untimely laughter naturally attracted everyone’s attention. Suddenly, more than a dozen people in the classroom shot angry glares at Old Xie. And that little girl was undoubtedly the angriest one. Just think about it, she was immersed in the atmosphere of being respected, but was suddenly interrupted by Old Xie. Naturally, she was unhappy.
She immediately walked over the front desks and came in front of Old Xie. She seemed to notice Old Xie’s position, frowned slightly, and said, “Little Steven, why are you sitting in the seat of inferior people? Did someone dare to bully you?” Saying that, her face immediately became ugly, and she fiercely swept a glance at the noble children around.
Those people were immediately scared and hurriedly said, “No, Your Highness, he sat there himself. None of us forced him!”
Old Xie didn’t expect the little girl to care about him. Later he learned that she was actually a Princess. Counting that way, she must be the Emperor’s youngest Princess, Lanslo Snow.
“Huh?” Hearing his words, Little Princess Lanslo Snow immediately said dissatisfiedly to Little Steven, “Little Steven, please pay attention to your status. You are a Noble, and my sister’s fiancé. How can you sit here? Do you know? Your behavior has not only lost face for the Stephen Family, but even our Royal Family has lost face with you!”
For Little Princess Lanslo Snow’s indignant accusation, Old Xie immediately felt impatient. The little bit of goodwill he had just accumulated was cleared by her boring noble style. So he said angrily, “Status is something that should always be determined by strength, not boring bullshit bloodline. Do you understand? Little girl!”
“What?” Little Princess Lanslo Snow was furious immediately. She didn’t expect that her kindness would be met with such ridicule. She was very angry at the time. You know, as the Emperor’s youngest daughter, she was a person doted on by thousands. Everyone in the Griffin Kingdom respected her immensely. But unexpectedly, today she was despised by a Barbarian.
Actually, she had long been unable to stand this guy. Because in her view, it was an insult to marry her sister, who had such peerless elegance, to Little Steven. But her sister seemed to have some pity for Little Steven. Not only did she not dislike him, but she also told her to take care of this trash. Otherwise, Little Princess wouldn’t have bothered with Little Steven’s life or death.
But no matter what, Little Steven was just an ant-like existence in the eyes of the Princess. Now he dared to openly resist her. This was absolutely intolerable to her. So, Little Princess Lanslo Snow almost immediately roared furiously, “You hateful guy, how dare you speak to me like that? Fine, since you mentioned strength, let’s speak with strength. I want to Duel you. I must teach you a lesson so you know that not only is my bloodline nobler than yours, but my strength is also stronger than yours, you trash!”
